One of the more crazy ideas we have had of running a 200hp 2 stroke outboard on a riveted 14ft john boat.

After much consideration, we have decided to change our name from 407 crew, to Clapped Out Customs.

  • I'm so thankful that someone finally did this. I've wondered what it would be like for 40 years. Proud of you rapscallions. Looks sketchy as hell!

    You won't even believe if i told you how many times i looked up "big motor small boat" over the years on youtube, and i was never fully satisfied. Until today, when i randomly came across this video. This is it!👏
  • You got some serious balls. On behalf of everyone on YouTube, thank you for doing this.
  • @lesheath6216
    I could see doing this in a V Hull but no way I'd try it on a flat bottom! Kudos on your success!
  • Could you imagine....guys on a lake in his brand new $50k bass boat thinking he's a big dog until he gets passed by this 😂 😂
  • My brother and I put a 30 horsepower outboard on a ten foot jon boat and we thought that was sketchy. You definitely took it to another level.

    This is just literally taking a sledge hammer to hydrodynamics, and that is awesome!
  • The indifference to any form of common sense is MAGNIFICENT‼️ 👍👍 Love it, new sub!!!
  • Dude turned a steering outboard to a tiller outboard!! Respect to whoever held your beer while you made this happen!!!😂😂😂😂

    Activities that clearly explain why men don't live as long........ Suscribed!

    I had a 40 hp evinrude on the same size boat and only had the nerve to open it up two times. Your setup is awesome!
  • Would strongly recommend getting a 3 blade prop with a lot more pitch it won’t have as much torque but you’ll be able to give it some throttle without flipping backwards and fearing for your life and if your ever able to run wide open which I highly doubt it’ll be a lot faster. You could easily run a 26p or 28p prop on that boat. Also this is FUCKING AWESOME

    Life long boat lover here! Even had a small engine boat repair business for a time so I can put myself in your shoes somewhat. That being said I was laughing my ass off and scared for my life within the same breath and I’m just watchin! This is great stuff right here!!
  • The 200HP on the Jon boat might be the highlight of that groom's married life.
  • i really enjoyed watching this. when i was young i put an 40 hp on a 14 ft sailboat hull that was damaged in a storm. cut the keel and used 2 one inch marine plywood to make the transom. it used to bob up and down and then jump out of the water much like your test did. i tied a rope from the bow that i could hold on to. watching you made me think back to that. thank you for that. can't wait for your next video.

    I’d just fill the whole boat with flotation foam that way you can at least tow it back when it flips 😂 shocked the boat structure even held up that long.
  • After a lot of consideration, we are changing the channel name to ‘clapped out customs’. Felt like this better encompasses us.
  • I ran a 9.9 on a 10 ft jonboat many moons ago and had a blast! But 200 on a 14 ft... that's freaking hilarious😂. Thanks for doing this and sharing the vids. I can't quit laughing 😆

    Lived out my fantasy vicariously through your video! I'm not as young and crazy as you anymore. I'm retiring a 140 from a tour boat and was thinking about putting it on a small boat for grins. I don't need to anymore. Will probably just sell it. 😁
